West rose windows of Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres baie 143
West rose windows of Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Chartres baie 143, Gothic stained glass window in Notre-Dame Cathedral, Chartres, France.
The west rose window displays intricate scenes of the Last Judgment through colored glass panels measuring 12 meters in diameter.
Created in 1215 during the cathedral reconstruction after the 1194 fire, this window features Christ at its center surrounded by evangelists.
The window illustrates medieval Christian theology through detailed scenes depicting the resurrection of the dead and separation of souls.
The glass panels underwent multiple restorations in 1846, 1919, and 2012 to maintain their structural integrity and visual clarity.
The window contains twelve identical openings around a central eye, with thick stone framework that creates distinct shadow patterns.
